Meanwhile, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola believes midfielder Rodri needs more time to find form as he recovers from a knee injury.

The 2024 Ballon d'Or winner missed the Premier League's side last outing against Burnley, but is available away at Monaco which has just kicked off .

Guardiola says Rodri - who returned to action in May - is unable to handle the rigours of an intense schedule.

Elsewhere, Arsenal are hosting Olympiacos and Barcelona meet defending champions Paris Saint-Germain.
